Along with the salaries the NASCAR drivers generate bonus as well as endorsement and also get some other cash benefit from different source like Go Daddy, Good Year, Burger King. The Top drivers get some extra endorsement and opportunity to renew their existing contract. Apart of Sprint Cup Series NASCAR conveys two more leading race competition Xfinity Series and the Camping World Truck Series where the Xfinity yield of $1 Million to $500,000 including $250,000 endorsement. On the other hand Camping World Truck drivers obtain maximum of $350,000.

I just stumbled on this. I find it hard to believe that if Kyle Larson is that underpaid that he resigned with Ganassi. As a rule, drivers are given virtually no benefits like health insurance. Of course they are covered while racing. There is just now way in the world that he would be the second lowest paid driver out there. Every owner wants him.
